In welcoming you to this, the website of The Prosperity Lodge No 2607 EC (2607th English Constitution Lodge of Freemasons, presided over by the Grand Master, HRH the Duke of Kent from the Grand Lodge in London) within the Johannesburg South Africa region, may I first say that it is an honour and privilege to be able to address to you all this note of greeting.

It is not an easy task to render a specific introduction but suffice it to say that Freemasonry is an organisation of men who strive to live by the fundamental principles of truth, morality and brotherly love. It is a non-profit organisation and supports charity and community service.

It unifies men of high ideals regardless of their colour, creed or worldly status.

Prosperity Lodge, of which I am the current Master has been in existence for over a hundred years nurturing many generations of Freemasons; it is a strong and vibrant entity and boasts as its members individuals from all walks of life and from diverse cultures and religions.

It is not necessary for me to delve any further into what Freemasonry is or for what it stands as these fields are well covered under the various headings available on this website - Such as How to become a Freemason, etc.

Suffice it to say that, as the Master of the lodge (and there is always a new master installed after every year) I find great solace, enjoyment and a deep sense of fulfilment in meeting my fellow members of the lodge; we stand under our banner of friendship and mutual respect united in a common bond of friendship, camaraderie and a bond which is universal.

We strive to serve our lodge, our community and mankind in general.

I sincerely trust you will enjoy this website and find it informative and maybe, one day, some readers will come to enjoy the depth and majesty which is Freemasonry and all it epitomises
